DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.

The San Francisco authorities are exer-
cised over the disposal of the garbage of
the city. If it is dumped upon land out
side the city the people residing near by
soon have the spot declared public
nuisance; if it is dumped into the bay it
shoals the waters of the harbor. The Aha
proposes the only wise plan, the cremation
Of the waste. This has long been prac-
ticed in Europe and in some parts of our
own country with great success. Ashes
and cinders our contemporary would re-
quire to be kept in separate vessels, and
not mingled with vegetable refuse and
slops. The former are excellent for road
ways, the latter should be burned. This
can be done by the garbage company that
now receives the waste and sorts it over,
and it would pay the company well to do
so. The Alta cites the experience of
Montreal, where this disposal of garbage
is practiced and is so successful that no
one ever thinks of abandoning it. What is
true there may be made true here Sacra-
mento is wasteful in her present disposal
of garbage. If every household was re-
quired to keep its refuse in barrels, it can
be delivered to company that will find
profit in disposing of it as suggested. One
of the chief causes of filth diseases is
the exposed heaps of decaying vegetable
and animal matter Nowhere should this
be tolerated. The great mass of the mat
ter will burn over its own fuel and few
hundred dollars will construct furnace.
If ordinances required all garbage to be
kept in barrels and removed at least twice
week, and all burial of such matter in
the earth were forbidden, and cremation
of the refuse required, very important
step in sanitary science would be taken,
and the public health be thereby promoted.
As the Alta says:
II is indeed strange that public discussion of
the bad sanitary effect Of human interment
should have been so effective as to popularize
cremation, while we still take the bodies or parts
OF bodies OF animals other than man and east
them uncovered upon the earth or throw them
into the waters from which come precisely
such uuWhoiesome civilizations as we seek to
avoid by cremating the human subject
